| Abstrakt: | Objectives: Endovascular aortic repair may be complicated by type 2 endoleaks. Intervention is generally recommended when the native sac continues to grow more than 5 mm. Transcaval coil embolization (TCE) of the native aneurysm sac is an emerging technique for repair of type 2 endoleaks. The objective of this study is to report an institutional review of our experience with this technique. Methods: 11 patients underwent TCE during the study period. Data were gathered on demographics, size increase of native aneurysm sac, operative details, and outcomes. Technical success was defined as resolution of the endoleak during completion sac angiogram at end of the procedure. Clinical success was defined as no growth in the aneurysm sac at interval follow-up. Results: Coils were the embolant of choice in all cases. Technical success was achieved in all cases except 1 resulting in a 91% technical success rate. Median follow-up was 25 months (range, 3-33). Of the ten patients that had technically successful embolization, 8 patients had repeat computed tomography (CT) scans which showed no further expansion of the native sac resulting in a 80% clinical success rate. No complications were noted immediately post-op or at interval follow-up. Conclusions: This institutional retrospective review demonstrates that TCE is an effective and safe option for type 2 endoleaks after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in selected patients with favorable anatomy. Longer term follow-up, more patients, and comparison studies are needed to further define durability and efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
